[SOLVED] SPList and SPSite name - different screen and file name

SPList and SPSite name - different screen and file name - is it possible?

Is there a possibility to have different list or site display name (on screen) than the file name? I mean to display other name in left quick launch bar than the file names itself? For example I would name list like A on screen, and call it in my custom webpart like B.

Thanks in advance for help!

Solution

SPWebs and SPLists can have their titles changed in their respective settings page on the site.
SPWebs and SPLists can have their internal names (like seen in the url) renamed in SharePoint Designer, or by code.

When you do a SPWeb.Lists["Listname"] it looks for the Title of the list. If your title is full of special characters or something else is demanding you to be able to have a simpler name to grab the list, I recommend doing it by the Id of the SPWeb or SPList, their collections generally accept a GUID as parameters, and if they don't there's a method for that.
